Avis Preferred: We value your custom and strive to provide the best service to keep you coming back for more.

That’s just for starters – please ask one of our team for full details of all the benefits and offers available.

Out-of-hours return: If you’re flying outside our office hours, you needn’t worry about how or when you’re going to return your vehicle. We want you to enjoy the most flexible service possible and that’s why you can return your car around the clock – you just need to park your car, drop off your keys and then concentrate on your onward journey.

Optional extras

Child seats: Austria is a fantastic holiday destination for families and safety takes priority with children in the car. 

Satellite navigation: Part of the appeal of motoring in Austria is discovering its rural idylls. You’ll need our sat nav to find remote spots in the Alps.

Winter equipment: We can also supply ski racks and snow chains for those heading to snowy climes.

Don’t miss the opportunity to use your hire car from Innsbruck Airport to explore the surrounding scenery of Tyrol. With a hire car from Avis you can explore at your leisure all that this picturesque region has to offer, from mountain ranges and world class ski resorts to valleys studded with medieval villages, waterfalls and lakes.

No matter the time of year, there is a wealth of exciting outdoor activities and spectacular vistas within an hour from Innsbruck Airport. Drive to some of the world’s best ski resorts to enjoy a perfect winter’s day on the slopes, spend time at stunning attractions such as the Kaunertal and Stubaier glaciers, or take advantage of the hiking or climbing opportunities in summer.

Whether you choose to base yourself in Innsbruck or drive further afield, once you are behind the wheel, picturesque roads and awe-inspiring panoramas are at your fingertips. Many of the region’s top attractions are within an easy drive of the airport, and if you feel like discovering more you can continue two hours north east to the city of Salzburg.
